This patch is an additional code change to the get_str_len_and_pointer
method in log_events.cc. This change is necessary to correct a problem
encountered on 64-bit SUSE where the auto_increment_* variables were
being overwritten. The change corrects a cast mismatch which caused
the problem.

The problem was located to lie inside current NPTL pthread_exit() 
implementation. Race conditions in this code can lead to segmentation
fault. Hovewer, this can happen only in a race between first thread 
calling pthread_exit() and other threads. 

Workaround implemented in this patch spawns a dummy thread, which
exits immediately, during thread lib initialization. This will exclude
segment violations when further threads exit.

Problem: replication of LC_TIME_NAMES didn't work.
Thus, INSERTS or UPDATES using date_format() always
worked with en_US on the slave side.
Fix: adding ONE_SHOT implementation for LC_TIME_NAMES.
